Xiaomi Pocophone F1

ThanosOnTheHouse

Use google camera mod. You will love it

Camera problem

So my camera on Poco F1 went crazy. On night mode it switched to front camera( cant change it). If you try to go on portrait/ slow motion it gets camera error. Plus the video and photo quality went to shit. Had this problem once before and system reset fixed it, but now it doesnt help. Anyone experienced this problem and know how to fix it?

Never had any problem with mine. Its a January 2019 build. Can't remember what screen, but you can't find that info now, but it's not the original panel these phones came with. I didn't realise this problem still existed?

The latest browser version is horrible. How can I go back to an older one? Trying to download older APK do not work.

S.ABiR

couldn't agree more! performance is snappy...

angkool

they are both flasgship phone..i got my Poco 10months ago..Well sometimes i got issues just a little bit regarding with the updates..But overallabout perfromace its Pretty cool, i tried already BETA then i go back to Stable for MIUI 11..There is a big difference about the updates. Mi8 is a good phone you better choose the 8gbRAM/128gb storage variant..I mean its really looks premium build than poco. (Although we all know about the secret of transparent back case of mi8..heheh)

This device is impressive just because of it's Sock & battery. I bought it last year in August on 1st flash sale. There was no issue until Feb 2019 but by my mistake the display got broken and the replacement display had ghost touch issue and again the only solution was to replace the screen again. So I had to replace display for three times but no complaints.

Kunalmzr

Same with me. The Snapdragon 845 is really unbeatable by any device a the price. I also bought my device last month after long research and I am happy with it.

Kunalmzr

when the device comes out, many users were crying about it. But at the price, it offers so high performance that for me it is not an issue at all. Yes, I have the device, but I have not seen any such bleeding. The only thing bleeds is my enemies in "Call of duty: Mobile". When I shoot them with my Assult Rifle. Regards.

Kunalmzr

If you want 4 back cameras and your main need is photography, then Mi Note 8 is the best for you. you can easily go for the 6GB/128 variant. But if you need performance or a gamer just like me, then F1 is the better choice. I have bought the 6 GB/128 GB variant almost one month ago to start some serious game streaming as an alternate hobby and money flowing source. Though it is a one-year-old model, still the snapdragon 845 SoC is giant and it renders every game at high to very high settings. "Call Of duty; Mobile" which is my passion now renders so well, I mean shadows, lens flare, blood spitting, smoke, water reflection, etc looks so beautiful and convincing, I played this game on the J7 Prime 2 and it felt like a game, but in F1 it is like a real movie. Anyway, I will go for the Redmi 8 Note in February or next summer to replace my J7 Prime 2. I am impressed by the quad back camera set up of it and it will be a perfect device for mobile photography. Regards and respect.

Mr. Catastrophic

Mi 8 or Pocophone F1?? I'm in dilemma choosing these 2 phones..

Kunalmzr

I have not faced any such issue. And i am also not sure how it what app your using. I will advice your to reset the device. Anyway it is always a good idea to to a factory reset after a new OS upgrade.

Kunalmzr

Follow these steps. 1. Remove all unused apps. Keep only the one which you uses. 2. Disable "Second space" unless you want a different set up for office use. 3. Using a big memory card such as 128/256 GB also consumes battery. I dony use any memory card with my F1 as i have 2 SiMs and 128 GB built in memory is enough for me. 4. Try to use your device smart way, e.g keep the device silent in night, or use auto on/off when you are sleep, or disable every unused sensor not in use etc 5. Use only a authentic charger, don't use any other. I hope my tips helps. As for me I am getting a typical one day with medium gaming with call of duty and NFS No Limit.

Kunalmzr

Poco F1 is not popular for camera, but it's Snapdragon 845 SoC and performance. It is the best gaming device under 300$. I bought one myself last month for playing call of duty and PUBG last month. As for camera, you can try Redmi Note 8 at 10k or about 150$ which has 4 camera in back. Or you may try new Moto zoom, One or action, even Moto G8+ has very good camera.

Just bought the 6/64 one at 170usd only🙀 Black Friday deals, updated to miui 11 and the phone is super awesome!!!! Butter smooth...🔥🔥🔥­🔥

Is there any smartphone that is having a better camera and cheaper than poco f1?

dev

battery quickly draining.... nd poco f1 not upgradble to android 10 ? any one know pls make a reply thanks :)

Mikkun

It's not the video streaming as I rarely video stream. I'll still buy it because of The memory, the SoC (SD845 is still great). Plastic, but sturdy construction. 3.5 Audio Jack. FM Radio. And most important of all is the expandability. That's one of my main reasons why I'm so obsessed with this phone. Even though it has 2018 flagship specs It's good enough for me to buy at the end of 2019.

Newpkaj

Has facing problem in automatically reading mode after the miui 11 update in Indian variant.. Most of the notification are disappeared from notification panel in the apps secured by applock. Poco developer should work on in it n request to bring android q update soon

Tee

After MiUI 11, the phone is even better. Buttery smooth performance, most bugs have vanished and overall feels like a new phone. I was planning to replace my F1 with the Mi Note 10, but after the last update it will stick around for a while.

Louinou

After one year, still working perfectly, even better with MIUI 11. Fyi, the Pocophone F1 is also compatible with Galileo system.

PvtSkank

My 4G connection isn't working anymore after the miui 11 update tips are welcome

Sujakhu

Finger print option vanished from my poco F1.... please help me

Raymond

Best phone I've ever owned hands down. Notifications are now permanent in MIUI 11 which is great. Installed gcam and the camera is simply amazing.

AnoM

Both OPPO Reno Ace, Realme X2 Pro doesn't have micro SD slot. However, these have 90hz display but dew drop notch, latest 855+, also have Super Fast Charging of 65W and 50W. But for price wise, you may find the latest K20 Pro Premium might still priced cheaper than those, despite no 90hz display, also only support 27W charging speed.

Prophet

Miui 11 has improved speed of the phone and a sound bug from miui 10 is gone,, i am liking the dark mode on it. This is definitely the best phone i have ever owed. Hope we receive the android 10 update

Does anyone else experiencing sound issues after miui 10.3.8 update Low volume and crackling sound when phone is ringing

AnoM

Less than 200 quid now got Mi8 and Mi Mix 2S at my country, also can get Honor View 20. Around 300 quid, definitely can get K20 Pro/Mi9T Pro, and Mi9. I would still recommend spend a little bit more and get Mi9T Pro, evem can consider getting Oneplus 7 at around the same price. These comes with better build, AMOLED screen, NFC. 1 year is already considered long for a smartphone. Smartphone technology get renewed almost as fast for half year period.

Anonymous

The Poco was released just over a year ago, so hardly old. Most people wouldnt even notice the difference between a snapdragon 845 and 855. I could go on, but for 200 odd quid, it's still an excellent smartphone to buy.

Anonymous

Except one of the most important bits, which is the software. Obviously fine if you like the Meizu offering, but I don't, and miui works well for me

mogamycool

poco f1 is getting miui 11 now. But still in android pie. I think they will add android 10 next stable update.

AnoM

Yes, Meizu 16T is definitely the next cheapest SD855 smartphone, no doubt about that. All smartphone launch later definitely will be better. I don't even recommend this Pocophone F1 right now. If Meizu doesn't launch the Meizu 16T, will recommend getting K20 Pro or Mi9T Pro instead. My point is you should go compare with K20 Pro or Mi9T, or even Mi9, Oneplus 7, not this old Pocophone F1.

Anonymous

Except those phones you mentioned are more expensive than Meizu 16T, and still don't have better specs! I am not going to prefer to buy pocophone F1 or those that you listed over Meizu 16T, and the different date of release of pocophone doesn't change that. Late 2020 phones may be better than Meizu 16T in the same price range, but they are not here yet. So for someone who buys a phone now, they are not available. So we compare with what's here, and not with what's not here. I have yet to see the camera quality of Meizu 16T. But judging from their previous models, the camera and sound might just be great.

jonnymac

Please could someone tell me where the Quick pane screen has gone? It used to be to the left of the Home screen, but seems to have disappeared. Has it been discontinued in a recent firmware update, or have I turned it off accidently?

AnoM

Comparing a 2019 smartphone with a 2018 smartphone? If everyone is comparing just like this way, then I can say any flagship smartphone launch in year 2020 confirm is much better than the Meizu 16T in every way. You should compare Meizu 16T to Redmi Mi9T Pro/ K20 Pro, not this Pocophone F1.

Yeah Meizu 16T is price about the same, but better specs. Can't wait for it to come out.

Anonymous

This phone is inferior to Meizu 16T in almost every way. And let's not forget Xiaomi's famous terrible sound when recording videos. I don't know if it's present in this phone, but I am not risking it.

AnoM

After using this phone for 1 year, I'm really satisfied with it. I know, every smartphone has issues, but this phone is what it is, the cheapest SD845 smartphone that you can buy at that time, with cut corners. It is for it's intended market, for it's intended user, who appreciate it's performance it brings at low price. Yes, it doesn't comparable to smartphone that is higher price, but it is good at it's selling price.

AnoM

Here is the 2 edges answer. I think any smartphone with type C port support the so called QC4.0, QC4+, as it is actually USB-PD. The only thing differ would be the charging speed, the voltage and ampere drawn. I have tested a lot of them, this Poco F1 charge at 9V 1.6A, around 15W with QC4.0/QC4+ charger, is actually a bit slower than when using QC3.0, which operate at 6V 3A, 18W. However, both charge full at around the same time, from 0 to 100% around 2 hours. So, my advise is, you no need look for QC4.0/QC4+ charger for this Pocophone F1, as it doesn't increase the charging speed than QC3.0. Using quick charge is quite difficult to say will affect battery life time. It is depend on the quality of battery, not really direct related to quick charge itself. However, every battery will degrade no matter if you use quick charge or not.

SH.T

Now it is my long term review, after one year: It is all the good things you hear about it, non of the bad .... at first it had one or two issues and now even those are gone(still none of them were like what i was hearing around the time...they were minor and never made me restart my phone) ..... from day one till now it only once got out of power and even that was due to overnight downloading ... so no restarts due to crash or getting out of power for me only due to occasional updates. while back camera is above average(infact in very good category) but about front camera because of lack of autofocus in front facing camera it is not what you really want... it is still very nice for Instagram but if quality of selfies really matters to you don't buy this phone.

NickNameNick

Xiaomi has gotten so many quality issues in the past few years. The frame allows more customization while there will be more bugs. OV obviously beats Xiaomi in $300 - $400 market this year.

Kunalmzr

You hanged a Snapdragon 845 SoC in your F1? What do you run? I just bought a new one and even PUBG runs smooth on HD without heating/hanging. And Call of Duty looks absolutely stunning. I am pretty happy with it. If anyone needs performance, then this one is the best under 20k. Other then that go for Nubia Magic 3S which is the coolest device for now.

bilal

I am using Poco f1 since 9 months & its a dud in front of oneplus 7. Pocofone has many issues like hanging midway, other glitches etc. no comparison even between pocofone & oneplus 7.

NickNameNick

Always buy the latest tech product dude. 7T/7T pro is a better pick. Oppo Reno Ace also a good choice.

Op7 is a joke!

Kumal

Oneplus 7 is better than Pocophone F1. Also consider Redmi Note 8 pro

Kunalmzr

I have decided to start own game streaming as serious hobby for now. And decided to go for a 6GB/128GB model under 20K with snapdragon SoC. Last year it could have been only F1, but today it is very hard as so many models are there. So, I decided to do research and finally chose F1. Bought it from a local store, cost me about few 1k more, but at least they checked the device and I set up it on this shop. Anyway come to device. My review: 1. Build quality is solid, feels very premium. I have used the A50 and A70 in family and this device is as per them. 2. Display, it is also good, not as bright as Amoled (which has too bright colors). 3. Camera is also enough for casual photos. Took some selfie and night shots, they are good. But I need some note say to tweak the settings in the camera app. 4. U.I.is fast, neat and clean. The poco launcher is super cool with themes and cuatomization. The device comes with very few apps like Mi and google one. No annoying Microsoft apps or Samsung apps (I am galaxy user). 5. Performance. This is my most favorite part. I palyed the "Call of duty: Mobile" in high settings and it looks amazing. I mean the shadows, blood effect, blast effect, smoke eveything looks so convincing. Same with PUBG, It started with HD settings, I palyed my first game on "Miramar" as solo mode and won my first game as everything is so crsytel clear. 5. The battery life is also very good. It lasts long for one day with moderate use. Overall I am pretty happy and satisfied with the device. At near 15K.it is the best considering the snapdragon 845 SoC. last but not least the "Game booster" app which is best to run the games. Today I got some major ans minor OS/security patch updates which made the device run faster.

Anonymous

I bought the kevlar version, as I don't really like larger phones, and putting a case on the Poco, even a thin one makes it too wide, bulky and heavy for me. It's stood up well with six months use. Decent amount of grip in the hand. Have got a screen protector on though....

You're wrong. I disabled dev. opt., and it's off now.

AbamBhaNie

Beware, once you enabled Developer Options, it will not actually turn off! Even if you switched it to off, it is oddly still enabled (visual indicator of the switch lied to me)! Played a game called FGO (it has very good anti-hack measures), it detects that your phone is in developer mode (hackers are usually in this mode to modify their phones) even after you switched the mode off. The only fix is to, sadly, hard reset your phone, yeah, Factory Reset...

Go for mo 9t pro.

gorpalm

Deffo the 9T pro - In my country (UK) it's currently 20% cheaper than the plain 9. It seems to have everything you'd want out of a gaming machine including a 2019 flagship chipset, gaming-orientated cooling etc. Pay a little more, get a lot more. I've got the F1, it was a surprise (especially the camera - not lying when I say nearly all results just looked better than my Mate 10 Pro), but I'd expect the 9T Pro to spank it. Price difference is currently minimal too between the 9T Pro and F1 in this country (although I got my F1 in a flash sale 33% off, a month or so ago).

Anonymous

Both f1 and 9t pro are quite similar on terms of gaming, there´s not a lot of games actually that use all the improvement´s on both gpus, however the adreno 640 on the 9t pro is about 20 percent more efficient on energy

got this beast international variant 64gb. have to say its the best value for money phone with rock solid performance. Samsung A50 and others dont come close to its performance. snapdragon 845 and the battery 4000mah lasts 24hrs+ easy. pubg performance is awesome too. Go for it in a heartbeat ;-)

kingvario

All I can say is that you have to test one yourself either through a friend on in retail shop. Hard to find it in retail it's almost 100% online sold only. Best idea would be pretend you want to buy a used one and ask the seller if you can test it shortly, tell him you are unsure if you like the model and test it if he agrees look at screen bleeding and test touch.

Pocobrah

I am confused between this and the A50, i know this has better CPU/GPU/RAM but i am worried about screen as almost all issues reported are about ghost touch or bleeding. what do y'all think?

Please stop misleading People, I play Fortnite on epic graphics and get many victory royales without any problems and I play PUBG on the highest settings for hours without problems and I've been using this amazing smartphone for almost a year and no hardware or software problems at all, no screen issues like ghost touch etc, battery life is still great and very good cameras using Gcam so overall I recommend this phone to everyone.

It's not possible. I tried it many times but after 5 or 10 seconds, it would log you out from the game.

its not aluminum, it is polycarbonate(hard plastic).. the finish is just great that it looks like metal alum:)

Is it possible to play Fortnite on Poco?

Aval

Do you think Poco will receive Android Q update?

frostbyte

i just want to share my toughts. i think pocophone is just a xiaomi's trial if the consumer will love their ideas of having a flagship in a mid range segment. and it clicked. what they really want is to adopt this in their Redmi Sub brand. as you can see, the specs that must be in POCO F2 was already implemented in the Redmi K20 series. Pocophone was just another xiaomi name. Redmi is like the Honor brand of Huawei.. I think no more Poco f series will be release. BTW, i am a proud pocophone f1 user😊😊😊

What the phone back is completely plastic

Appymccoy

Of course Poco. it has SD 845, which means higher performance and framerate in pubg.

Ganesh Wije

I dont think this is a valid comment as I have been using a Poco F1 for almost 7 months, never found a latency.

Pocophone is not plastic body at all It's from metal ( alominium ) How you do this mistake ??

i bought poco f1 when it was announced. I think in September. The only issue i had with this phone due to which i had to sell it off is its poor digitiser/touch screen. 1) very high touch latency 2) overly sensitive touch screen, smells not only just ur finger but anything u throw at it. 3) Bad for Pubg due to touch issues. 4) cannot type fast with accuracy Overall it is still a valuable phone, you may buy it for other daily tasks but not for texting/gaming.

shall i buy poco or samsung a50 when it comes to playing pubg?

2g option (vital for phone) lost in pie update. No dark mode anywhere, contrary to posts (something I’ve had for at least 5 years with Lumia & Microsoft.) Camera colour rendition deeply flawed, however you try to tweak. Radio sound quality awful, equaliser makes no difference (grado headphones.) A few other things, these you could probably live with. So much promise, sadly being returned. Can’t recommend.

Anonymous

Dysfunctional and unusable. Serious touch screen problems a few months after using it. Cant play games normally, swiping to receive calls are hard and many other functions are rendered useless cause of the touch screen

Please

Should I buy this phone, or vivo z1 pro? some suggestion please

MOHAGO

Meh... Glass back - pop up camera - in-display fingerprint even the Amoled display. I don't necessarily need those things (which are significantly cost effective and I'd argue they're gimmicks). I just want a screen with less bazels - 855 - slightly better cameras... And literally anything else.

Warlord

Don't buy it. After using 5 months it seems to me waste of my money coz I actually buy it for use as a phone and play pubg mobile game, now it's touch have some problem when I play game, also when use it for other application, it hang when I play game.

jonnymac

After always buying Samsung phones for over 10 years, I decided to replace my S7 Edge by going Sim-free with the Poco F1. Although the screen and build quality are not a patch on the S7, the speed and battery life were amazing, and I enjoyed the flexibility that the MIUI firmware allowed. I have avoided all the recent firmware updates as they all seemed to cause more problems than they solved. All was well for about 4 months until I got hit by the screen freezing issue about a month ago. Despite many attempts to adjust settings and research on the internet, I have not been able to find a solution. It is so frustrating to have to keep turning the phone on and off to resolve the frozen screen. As no solution has been forthcoming from Xiaomi I am considering returning to Samsung, especially as the latest F2 (aka K20 Pro) is now released, and they will be concentrating on that instead. Has anyone managed to find a solution to the freezing issue that doesn't involve rooting, etc?

My experience so far with this phone from November 2018: 1. No touch delay. Seriously, i tried real drum/deemo/hi3/nfs no limit/asphalt 8&9/modern combat/pubg/ark survival and no single delay on my end. 2. No screen bleed. I've tested it out with backlight bleed test and no bleeding. 3. Ghost touch. Testes with multi touch app and got none at all. 4. Battery is great. 2 days light usage. 4-6 hrs to drain the battery to 5%. 5.performance is great. Cmon, it's sd 845. 6. Heat. This phone isn't the coolest phone that i ever use when playing. It's still reaching 42°c when playing pubg (keep in mind im in equator where the weather is about 30-35°c). BUT, this phone is fast to cool down (took me like 3 mins to drop from 42 to 34). And the temp is never reach 44°c the liquid cool system is doing it's job properly. 7. No ir blaster which kinda a bummer since for me its xiaomi Signature feature. 8. Sd card expansions which is great. Tho im using the 128gb version so im not prolly gonna use it anytime soon. 9. Plastic body. I don't know about you guys,but i like "sleeper phone" If that s a real term. Love to troll people. 10.i got mine for $270 11. Notch. Not a fan of notch but i don't hate it either. And for this phone they use it properly (face detector etc). And not a fan of moving part in the phone. That's based on my experience. Cheers.

Still fast & smo

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with such clarity! Hope it will educate new smartphone buyers.

did you see the new about poco f2 guys what you think is it real? it has water drop notch which is cool for me unlike pop up cam more vulnerable...and it has AMOLED display dang! i hope they will keep sd cars and 3.5 jack

Sadly after 8 months of use with my pocophone, mine has screen retention when watching FB livestream for about 1-2 hrs with 50-60% brightness. Too early to show signs of retention since I dont use my poco that much because I have a backup phone. My Zenfone 3 max showed screen retention after almost 3 yrs with excessive use. Still love using my pocophone but I think xiaomi compromised on a low quality LCD panel to lower the price of the pocophone. Overall performance is a beast. But will I still recommend pocophone for now? Nah. Go for the new phones in the market. Why would I not recommend it now? Too many issues to gamble for this phone.

this phone is indeed gorgeous and amazing fast...why? less gimmick no pop up cam no nfc which most people really don't use it... for the price like this phone its amazing u have radio camera is back is really good if u use manual and front cam is good too you get 3.5 jck and most important the HOLLY SD card speaker is not bad at all...i just hope that they sell lots of 256gb variant.. because 256gb now is no where to be found it rare...

I had this phone for a year now. At the beginning it was all sweet and smooth. I was really happy I bought that phone and for about ten months I didn't have any problems. Unfortunately after that time my phone slowed down (apps freezing, long switching on and off time, clock on home screen failed to refresh, some apps stopped to work etc.). I reset it to factory settings and reinstalled apps but it didn't help. Also it started to be difficult to charge it. Charger supplied with the phone is not as efficient as it was on the beginning. Charging from 5% to 100% used to be about 90 min now it takes about 4 hours (tested on different chargers). It probably is just my phone (as I haven't find other opinions like mine) but after a year I feel disappointed and I started to look for a new phone - most likely not like this one anymore. I don't want to give it a bad opinion. I still think it is a very good value for money but I look for something that lasts longer than a year.

How much if 8gb RAM and 256 ROM?

AnoM

I fully agree with you. I actually like this Pocophone F1, I owned it almost on early release around September 2018. When I bought it, I already know what it is. That comment is just being objective, not try to overstate a smartphone with 1/3 of price tag of a premium smartphone from last year is going to kill any other more expensive smartphone. Yes, we get 1/3 of priced smartphone with some comparable specs, but with cut corners. I just want to state clearly what this smartphone is really all about. It is for those who really want saving, who doesn't fancy for metal/glass cosmetic body, doesn't fancy wireless charging, NFC, water resistant, AMOLED, OIS, best camera. Yet, I cannot make everyone agree with me, because there are people really buying these ideas for a premium smartphone, so I only can say if budget allowed, why not just go for those smartphone that they like, instead they just hiding here and blame this smartphone doesn't has this and that. It is nature of human greedy nature who want everything from a smartphone that is priced 1/3 from the norm. Many smartphone manufacturer just want buyer to go for their most premium smartphone by offering shit specs on their midrange and entry level smartphone. Only Xiaomi, Honor, ASUS are brave enough to offer something else, where their midrange smartphone is equipped with high end SoC. Because I prefer Snapdragon SoC more than Huawei Kirin's SoC for the apps compatibility concern, so my only choice for cheap yet high end Android smartphone would only left Xiaomi and ASUS. I can't say the same to Oneplus anymore as their smartphone is no longer the most budget friendly.

The mi 9t (k20). If you don't want xiaomi anymore get OnePlus 6t. Also if software is your concern get an Android one phone like mi a3.

SkyMasterARC

Not only it is high spec and cheap but it got all the good utilitarian features - the SD card slot and 3.5 mm jack. Also FM radio.

yaanns

i dont really like the newest update on poco especially on how they change the old game booster with the new one, well it has some good points but i really liked the old one where you can easily boost or record by touching the pop up button where the new one you need to slide and sometimes it didn't even work efficiently

How is this - "it lacks NFC" and this "no wireless charging", and this "it use LCD instead of AMOLED", and of course this "use plastic material for body instead if metal frame and glass body" - a drawback or something negative? NFC has been around since 2006 and as a normal person i don't see any use case for it if you don't have apps that can take advantage of it(blame google/development community). Wireless charging is also a gimmick, i am yet to find a group of people where you're unable to find a usb to usb-c or usb to micro usb cable, plus wireless charging is either slow af or at the best case give you a nasty burn and worst case be a fire hazard. LCD vs AMOLED - it's not a ducking +43inch screen, plus amoled has a permanent burn in issue and i personally want to have at least one fallback phone in the drawer. If you'd give me an argument of LCD vs QLED then yes, i agree, LCD is a problem, but amoled - let it die along with the omnia series. And for my most loved part - plastic vs glass/metal. Here's a fact i've had 3 glass screened touch smartphones with plastic bodies, two of which have had a removable back(i9300 and nokia x6) and one has a plastic back with a sheet metal for that metal feel (redmi note 3). I've also had one phone featuring a unibody design (nokia 7 plus) i've dropped all my plastic phones be it on purpose or accidental about every 2 to 4 weeks and none of them have had a broken screen, not even a cracked one. But when my unibody phone decided to drop it broke it's screen on the 4 time i dropped it. Worst part is that it was in a tpu case and a i slowed the fall with my foot(ouch). So unless you're gonna be keeping your phone in a drawer or in a non gravitational field i don't think it will survive proper use. Plastic is fantastic, because it's flexible and even though it doesn't feel expensive you don't care, because the point of a phone is not to compensate for status, but to be there when you need that one good song or pas those 5 min, or take that picture of the mint age of Hitler Merc, or call an ambulance when you've fallen of your bike and broke your arm/leg.

This was a geat phone when I bought it 6 months ago. It was super fast and no lag at all, everything very smooth. However recent updates from Xiaomi downgraded the experience to a mid range phone. Now going to the home screen from an app is 2 seconds. Battery life is also badly affected at least 30% worse than before, I hope Xiaomi fixes this mess soon because it is turning into a disappointment.

Anonymous

I've used this phone for past 6 months,there is no problem on performance side that everything is on top notch and smooth. But there are few big problems which I've found. First major problem is display touch issue, there are few games on the playstore which have been greatly affected with this like (dream league , hill climb & even in pub g) coz it can't resolve multiple touch at a times and also there is high touch latency. 2nd problem is heating issue while playing games like pub g. After few minutes of gaming & I usually play on smooth/extreme setting & even at that setting it starts to throttle coz of heating issue. 3rd is call drop problem :; I use dual SIM at a time, whenever I call someone it automatically stops sending voice over your receiver side, you can hear their voice but can't send yours to them which really really sucks. You may be thinking it could be a cellular signalling problem from the sim provider but it's not coz I've tested with other phones & they do perfectly fine. There are few other problems as well but I've found these 3 most annoying to me. Hope they'll fix it asap. I don't think Poco really is that much of good purchase for now coz it has so many problems which really ruins your mood.

im a gamer bro i use poco f1 cc9 is good but it doesn't have 855 chip and the only reason im hoping for poco f2 is AMOLED screen and thats all for mi poco f1 is amazing because it has good back camera face unlock although i don't use it...SD card support SD845 4000mah type c, liquid cool feature its incredible almost perfect it would be gorgeous if it has AMOLED screen...and poco is a less gimmick phone that's why i love this phone good for gaming and picture taking...i just hope poco f2 doesn't come up with pop up camera water drop notch is good or on screen camera as long as it doesn't pop up...

You guys are waiting for Poco F2? It's basicly K20pro.. just careful with europe... no B20 for 4g. Mi9t=K20 for europe... Super amoled, 855, pop-up, sony 586 48mp camera etc...

same bro im still hoping for f2 if there is f2 should have AMOLED screen no pop up camera water drop is good enough 4000mah or 4500mah batt im ok with no nfc or ir blast memory slot hybrid or dual sim whatever liquid cool and good camera SD 855 im ok with no water froof or wireless charging because less feature less compromise and dual speaker...

Brynn

I want Pocofone F2.

is it true no poco f2 is coming?...

poco f1 user

how about the battery drain and low speaker volume that were previously reported last (may to june miui 10.3.5.0) update?

Anonymous

Just had the 10.3.5 stable popup and updated, one major thing i noticed is the Wifi calling now works without issue

EPIC

The price though

AnoM

This is the flagship killer smartphone of year 2018. Being a killer at almost 1/3 of the price of some flagship, it lack NFC, no water resistant, no wireless charging. Cut corners wise, it use LCD instead of AMOLED, use plastic material for body instead if metal frame and glass body. Camera has no OIS. Plus side, it has liquid cooling, infra red face unlock, 4000mah battery, 3.5mm jack, and Micro SD slot. Again, before say this smartphone is not as good as some smartphone, please check the specs and price again. Direct replacement for this smartphone would be Redmi K20 Pro.

I have 5s+ and poco f1 and my cusins has mi max 2 and couple of other models. We had never faced such a stupid error. There might be a problem with your cellphone or a problem with pubg becoz I hadn't ever heard about this problem. This poco f1 is one of the best after black shark2 undoubtedly...

What is best between pocophone vs mi 9 se?I'm not a heavy gamer

that's why don't use the phone in havy activity while the phone is charging because phone will heat up and the battery too the results will be battery degrade and Shortened the battery life span...

praveens

it is a great phone- i accept. It has high radiation while speaking on cellular calls. I cant even speak for a minute holding phone in my hand putting it on ear. this device manual itself says don't use this phone without wired or low power bt earphones for making calls. so please mention in the spec list or somewhere else in the product description about its radiation rating, say its good or bad or normal. i trust gsmarena, because you people provide every spec , even u update it. so, please consider my wordds.

Hi bro saw your question that after one hour play of Pubg it exit automatically. Bro this issue i have faced in only in xiaomi redmi mi phones. Pubg gets closed automatically after one hour as your phone gets it will be common becoz when mi phone mi a1 gets only 5 months this pubg application closing problem started so i sold my mi a1. Dont use xiaomi phones for Pubg becoz at first few months it will work fine and after that all problems will come together trust me. Better collect your money then you can go for oneplus6 8gb ram.

I've been using Poco as well for 6 months but haven't seen any degrade on battery. I use my phone for gaming e.i MOBA, PUBG, MMORPG. But I dont use my phone while charging cz it will greatly affect the battery

does anyone having trouble automatically forced exit when playing pubg for about 1hour++? before this im using mate 20 and note 9 for pubg playing hours till empty not having problem at all. thinking of changing if this keeps happening.

This website is basically full of wasteful consumerists who just change phones every 6 months for the sake of 1 pointless feature or performance increase. We are doomed. What a complete waste of resources.

Anonymous

what about not upgrading at all? 8 months isn't that long ago and this specs is still good for mid-rangers nowadays but if you're so eager to waste around 300 euro for a little upgrade here's some alternatives: 1.patiently wait for mi 9t pro that "supposedly" sold at €350 2.go for mi 9, in my country it's already around €370 for the cheapest version but still have notch that might look outdated soon 3.pick asus zenfone 6 for €500. cool design, better UI, unique camera mechanism. the IPS and rear fingerprint could outdated soon but not as an eyesore as notch. on a side note, with that price you might as well stretc your budget and upgrade to OP7 pro instead

Changing from Apply and iOS device and system was a huge difference and challenging especially with Android. I actually bought this device specifically because Apple's reducible price range. Anyhow, the mobile built material is good, shape is fine though the size is a bit annoying for me, i prefer smaller size for ease of use. The internal hardware and specs are very good, the mobile is fast with no lags switching between apps and i am facing no problems except with the OS. Too many useless update requests for the apps and no change was noticed. The Android system keeps crashing the apps and a bit confusing and way steps required to make any move than in Apple OS. All in all, as average user, i would recommend this device over Samsung and Huawei mobile phones. The mobile phone compared to the price is a good offer you wouldn't refuse.

Poco loco

Warning! After using this smartphone for 8 months I can tell you that this Pocophone is a trap! I can't decide which smartphone to upgrade to, if I went for the Galaxy A70 I'll have to deal with the SD675 which is not good enough for heavy gaming when compared to SD845 and If I wanted to upgrade to a flagship like the iPhone xs max or S10 plus or OnePlus 7 pro I can't justify the high price, so all in all this is a great value for money smartphone with amazing battery life and awesome gaming performance but I want to upgrade to another smartphone for a change, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dennis The Manners

if specs go for K20 Pro..if price go for Poco F1 Poco F1 actually is quite good enough, i've been using Poco F1 for 8 months. Performance not bad, fast charge, stereo speakers... Snapdragon 845 with 6GB RAM, wise design. Good job Xiaomi!

Mr. cute

Poco f1 or redmi k20 pro?

AnoM

For opinion wise, I actually wish smartphone speaker to sound as loud as possible, but on the other hand, manufacturer choose to reduce the speaker loudness to protect the speaker. So, it is a gray area decision to reduce the speaker maximum loudness, both sides of the coin will have people agree and disagree. Then, of course, Pocophone F1 is not the smartphone with very good and loud speaker to start with, it is ok for normal use, but not the loudest.

gaaron

it happens when u use the phone gaming while its charging battery life span and capacity decrease...

gaaron

good point and i strongly agree...just like u bro i don't use phone speaker this phone for me has a good quality sounds but i don't use it full blast cause it may crack the speaker and have a bad quality sounds in the long run so i use portable speaker...

AnoM

Sorry for the bad joke for scammer. Here is the thing, when speaker too loud, causing speaker become short life time, manufacturer then reduce the volume, then get complain again for adjusting the volume become low. Personally I don't use phone, not just smartphone to listen to music, but as a speaker phone is ok, don't want comment on speaker quality as it is a small speaker, won't produce any good sound. Yes, some sound better than the others, but no magic here, won't replace any Bluetooth speakers, won't replace any good speaker. So, this is a good, and also a bad thing. You can complain to their forum, and see if they want to adjust back the volume or not.

AnoM

Go change a new one. All smartphone manufacturer are scammer.

JOCAS

after the update to MIUI 10.3.5 the speaker sound because very low. please help to solve the isuue. what i will do? regards,

Pocophone F1 or Oppo f11 pro fir the design and specs? Help

AnoM

Here it is, the cheapest SD845 Android smartphone of 2018. Let's be honest, no other smartphone can beat it's value when this smartphone is launched last year. I have been using it for 9 months, doesn't give me any major issue. Well, my unit has screen bleed issue, but that's is ok for me, it doesn't affect usability. I only see it as a phone that lack NFC. It got all the ingredient of a flagship smartphone, except it is being cut corners on all the parts until it's price is so low, but remain the functionality. Major complain from most user is it screen, ghost touch, lose touch response from gaming, I think it is the main problem on this phone. I am not a heavy mobile gamer, I can't judge how lose touch when aiming while playing PUBG and Mobile Legend, these 2 game is not on my gaming list. For the rest, it is an ok phone to own, if you can look past it's low quality screen, plastic body, no NFC. The rest might nitpick no wireless charging, no IP rating, no AMOLED, camera no OIS. But for it's asking price, this is the best you can get, it retain 3.5mm jack, 4000mah big battery, class leading IR face unlock, and also Micro SD slot. Of course for people who favor for AMOLED, NFC, Xiaomi Mi8 is the better choice out there, but not a fair comparison to be a better phone than Pocophone F1, where Mi8 lack 3.5mm jack, no Micro SD slot, smaller 3400mah battery.

Is there any one who has a noise to the caller at the other end during voice calls??? This is not the call echo issue which is on stage. As I remember this issue came after the MIUI 10.3.4 update. Still I haven't updated to MIUI 10.3.5.

s-pen pusher

received the update 16/06/2019. so far no issues. no battery bug; i still am able to manage up to 10 hours of screen on time from one full charge. i had to recalibrate my screen for touch lag though. the only things i have noticed in the update are the customization of the lockscreen clock and new charging animation ala mi 8. the change log talks about fix for dual apps bug wherein the second instance of the app disappers after reboot; i couldn't confirm that because i have never used dual apps. lastly, it brought security patch level to may 2019.

I use "BAGT" on pubg getting 60 fps HDR High Resolution also I use "GAME TURBO" make the game never lag. But the main problem is "PING" if it 200 ping very bad, the less the ping the better, I recommend 20. And I personally prefer no joystick for mobile experience.

i use this phone for about 6 month. because of pubg. setting on smooth/extreme fps. the ugly things is i can see a trace of finger on screen. and it cannot be clean. for pubg joystick, not all can fit on poco. very hard to find 1

Any news on 10.3.5?? I am on beta annd moving to that stable build as soon as release

AnoM

Check if your network setting is set to 3G only. If it is not, then part of the problem is from Telco. On 9 months of usage, mine doesn't drop to H+ on it's own, even now I'm on latest MIUI 10.3.5.0, no network drop, no call drop, no WiFi disconnection. Use it everyday as daily driver.

AnoM

The most possible advise is test use with both phone at store only you can know which one is suitable for you. Do remember there is no best smartphone, only have suitable phone that suit your need. I can only say both Realme X and Pocophone F1 have their own pros and cons, no point if keep saying one is better than the others.

Magneto

In my country the poco f1 and the realme X have the same price. what is the best to choose, Any advice.

Anonymous

Who receive the updates on 10.3.5? any changes?

AnoM

It is not downgrades, it is "you get what you paid" concept. Of course, most people don't buy this concept, just keep pinpoint it's flaws that is due to it's cut costing. Well, at least now people has choices to choose to go full high end but with expensive price, or go with partially high end at a fraction of the cost as long as the phone works, that compromise the outlook of the smartphone, no NFC, no IP rating, no wireless charging, but with a real justifiable selling price that can justify why they cut out these feature by selling it much cheaper.

its not going to be Poco f2 it will remain redmi k20 pro when it release in India beside i don't like k20 pro for not having sd card slot...

Neelabh110

The Poco F1 had a huge shoutout in the tech world. It is an amazing phone for its price point. But, all phones are not perfect. The Poco had a few downgrades too, like its a IPS LCD screen instead of an OLED panel, the camera does not have OIS and the back is plastic. Still you can cope up with these little things because it is a very good IPS panel as the blacks look quite deep and the camera can take awesome pics during the day and even during the night due to that f1.9 bright IMX363 12mp sensor. It can shoot videos up to 2160@60 fps which the Pixel 3XL or even the Mate 20 Pro couldn't take and slow motions upto a mind blowing 960fps at this price point. I know that the Realme 3pro can also take 960fps slow mo's but it has many downgrades.

Depend where you come from, all have no problem on the internet, even doesn't has issue with apps as all are Android smartphone, then if you want to have huge download, you can pick a Micro SD card. The main difference here would be screen. AMOLED on Samsung A50 ans A70 would be better for video wiewing. But with A70, you might consider the getting Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus for much better performance and also features. For A50, you might want to top up to get Mi8 and Mi9, which also have AMOLED screen, but with much better performance.

pfff

It is not just for Indian market, it is for Asia market, where it is targeted for market segment for low cost smartphone but high end specs. I am at South East Asian, the phone works great on these country, works perfectly on South Korea too when I have a working trip there. Yes, it only made compatible with the 4G network on these country. This is common Xiaomi practice, they only target their phone on these market.

I only agree partially where the camera, screen quality, sound, outlook does loose to Samsung flagship and latest iPhone due to low pricing. But functionality wise, it only lack NFC. It's speed and performance is matching these high end phone. It even got IR face unlock, liquid cooling system. UI is a personal thing, I found it's MIUI is much more responsive and much more useful than Samsung UI, I got no issue on it's MIUI. You may also say it doesn't have IP68 rating and wireless charging as well, this is due to cost cutting as well. All in all, it is a fully functional smartphone that has processor that match Samsung flagship and latest iPhone.

you're wrong. there is only one bottom-firing speaker and one of those two grilles at the bottom actually have the primary microphone. the earpiece on the notch is the second speaker used for "stereo" sound. i really find the setup quite unbalanced as the earpiece speaker sounds tinny and lacks low frequencies, while the bottom one has all the dynamics. it is still pretty good, actually, when compared to even flagships. however, not as good and loud as the ones on the razer phone 1 and 2- which are front-firing, individually amplified, covers wide dynamics, bassy, and dolby atmos certified.

I am experiencing the same problem, infact in just so fed up

Ofc if you have budget go for mi9. Both are good. mi9 is better.

pocophone f1 or xiaomi mi9?

i owmed a50 too. thats a good and stylish phome unless you dont want to play high graphic games. but still i love my poco f1 and waiting for poco f2

MladenJ

There are just two stereo speakers at the bottom of the cell phone as they are, whether they have bass and low tones or garbage.

JoseBarci

Very Fast, 6G RAM, good cameras, very good battery, robust contrutcion, good display. Im Brasil for R$ 1.400 (330 US$). You can´t go wrong with POCO

cooldude

pocophone f1. brought for my wife and she thanks me for it everyday day. this change was after s7 edge to poco f1

Pocongmakenon

Dont worry Poco I will buy you today . After reseaching and making comparing all midrange phone , you are always a beast until now. Your opponent is only A50 but the comparison is far better for Poco. You will always be my loved,Poco. Long live Pocoooooo.

Kkk

Pocof1, better than mi8

MladenJ

Please ask who Poco let you describe what it's like to watch a video of quality, such as watching live stream Iptv, you tube and finally how much he uses the battery in this mode and warming up. What's up to the Xiaomia update on this mob. Thanks.

king rock

there is no comparison between A50 & Poco F1..... in simple words poco f1 is far ahead than a50 even A70 snapdargon 845 vs 675 hell alot difference between them

MladenJ

I'm in doubt between A50 and Poco F1 so my use of the phone is in the following order: 1.IPTV stream, 2.You tube, 3.Video player mix, 4.Internet, 5.Mp3 play, 6.therefore in this order is imperative. Which of these two cell phones is better for everything. Write all the deficiencies and disadvantages realistically.

AnoM

It is like this, for Samsung phone, only can consider their most expensive flagship as that is the one that truly worth buying, the only problem is with the pricing. I means if someone can buy a Samsung S10 Plus, then just go for that and don't look back. For affordable price smartphone with flagship specs, Xiaomi is the one to look for, or you might consider Huawei's Honor brand if your country have that. Judgement for Samsung A50, it is a midrange phone with midrange specs. Only thing it is superior is it's AMOLED display. So, expectation should set right, it only can perform as midrange, which for normal usage is perfectly fine. The only question is do you really need flagship performance, that Poco F1 can offer, with little price gap, but almost double the performance. For sure if just normal usage, then both Poco F1 and A50 would satisfy you. But if you really into high performance, need some really good processor for high end gaming, then Poco F1 currently is the only choice, or can choose Mi Mix 2S if your country have that. Yet at my country, the price difference between Samsung A50 128GB and Xiaomi Mi9 64GB actually also very small. For me to choose, I definitely go for Xiaomi Mi9, only thing I miss would be 3.5mm jack, no Micro SD slot, might be subjectively 3300mah smaller battery, and also have the smaller 64GB internal storage. But performance wise, definitely Mi9 beat A50 by a lot.

John Wick

You are absolutely right dude... Before this Poco i had Galaxy A6 plus... After long research i found that Galaxy A6 plus has old part such as Ram DDR3 which is MHz 800, Storage emmc 5.1 which is Slow than UHS 2.1, also wifi module is old etc.. only sAmoled display this one thing better than Poco. Otherwise poco has DDR4x Ram with 1866 MHz, UHS 2.1 High speed storage, and obviously High Speed Processor, USB type C, And also i like so much its camera with Sony IMX363 lens.

(contd) After updating the phone to the latest version, factory reset once again. That is it.

Anonymous

I bought this phone on the first sale (128/6GB model). From that time till March 2nd, I have been using the preloaded software i.e. miui 9 with Oreo 8.0. Then I took the leap of faith and updated it to miui 10.3.4. Here are my observations, 1.) All the promised features are added and work very good. Widevine L1, 4K 60fps, Game turbo, all are here. 2.) Option of hiding the notch is back (I heard it was gone in some previous update). It works a little differently. Instead of just hiding the notch, it pushes the display area below the notch. It results in a more symmetrical view imo. 3.) Battery life is as good as before. I didn't notice any abnormal battery drain during my usage. There is no idle drain either. After 8 hrs during the night, when I wake up, only 2% is depleted. This is a big update. So you definitely need to factory reset your phone. First backup your data to a PC. Then before updating, factory reset once. This will ensure there are no left over files. Then hit the update button. After

s-pen pusher

same here. i only have had the phone for 3 months, but i have really never been this satisfied with a phone's performance per price since oneplus one. i never had those issues with the early batches and so far my complaints are the screen being prone to burn ins and the "stereo speakers" not having balanced quality/loudness (the bottom firing speaker has more dynamics and is significantly louder than the earpiece speaker, resulting in unbalanced stereo sound).

MladenJ

For me in Croatia Poco F1 4/64 gb can be bought for 310 euros and Samsung A50 6/128 gb. for 300 euros. Someone wrote that in the A50 were built older parts from other phones and only a good display to attract customer attention. The two between A50 and Poco f1 and or maybe Remi note 7 4 / 64. What do you think of what to choose.

Gary

Similar experience after 8 months of use. Very happy with the phone.

Gary

They don't operate in the US, and for good reasons.

Mi 8 without a doubt

dhinks

obviously poco better as a50 has old parts

does this hsve the NFC feature

A50 is very slow phone. Poco F1 is monster for A50. 1 thing only is better in A50 - screen. All other, POCO.

My dilemma is between note 9 and this f1 Its half price!!

MladenJ

I'm in the dilemma of buying a mobile phone between the Samsung A50 6/128 GB or the Xiaomi Poco F1 6/64 GB. Only for real and honest answers.

AnoM

At my region, this phone with 128GB/6GB RAM is currently sold less than 20k, still no other phone beat it around that price range with such kind of feature offering. Maybe after 8 months, you can say not worth it because there are newer model such as Mi9, but it is definitely worth it when it is first launched.

Poco Uzer

This phone as compare to other phones are best in some of the features which cannot be compared at all. however this phone has some inbuilt problems which cannot be ignored. For at a price point of 28k this phone is not worth i believe only the memory of the phone is increase rest there is no difference in the 16k and 28 k phone.

humandroid

In my country, due to stupid taxes this phone and mi 8 are same price. My two main priorities are video recording and battery life. Mi 8 has OIS so it is supposed to be better but people say with gcam pocophone is great. Do you think I should buy poco because it has better battery with expendable storage? On the other hand Mi 8 has amoled display... I'm so confused. Any suggestions pls?

AnoM

Another receive question, why don't you ask why telco in each part of the world use different 4G band and standard? Why these telco can't provide more band support? The clear answer of course it is not free to implement. Bigger picture is there is poor standardization on 4G band.

AnoM

Not all smartphone version works globally. Only recently many big brand start to implement more LTE bands. Open all LTE band at no cost? I don't think this is the case. Clearly extra cost is added to fit in more workable LTE band, meaning add in more LTE modem. It is seemless to add, as it is already a wafer level chip kind of modem, but it is not free of charge.

Anonymous

not true because Samsung s7, s8 and s9 work all over the world and all bands are open , my question was that xiaomi could have opened all bands with no cost to them

Poco loco

I don't get how some people complain about this beast, I've been using it for 4 months now and no issues at all, playing PUBG at smooth and extreme settings and battery life is outstanding, great camera ( use Gcam) and edit videos, play for 4 or 5 hours straight without a hiccup, call quality is great, for me Xiaomi destroyed the mid-range segment with this awesome phone and notice that I bought it for 420 dollars in my country not 300 and still this is the best value for money smartphone.I can buy any flagship smartphone but I just don't see why when this phone exists.

AnoM

Depend how you define it as bugs or as an annoying UI implementation. I have updated to MIUI 10.3.4.0 for more than 1 month, I don't encounter any bugs, but that is just for me. For here, I list down some of the thing that might get annoyed, but not exactly are bugs. 1. Notification Icon. This one being one of the most elaborated issue, there is no permanent notification icon on the latest MIUI. The icon is there on the top left, but just flashed for a few second then it gone forever. From my past usage from 7 months, I get used to it, that it, not a big issue for me, but need extra step to swipe down to view the full notification. Also need to swipe down to view if the phone is on fast charging, and also GPS. 2. Ghost sensitive touch. After much reading on internet, this is related to the default keyboard of Pocophone F1. I use Swipe as my keyboard apps, just need to change the keyboard size bigger then have less issue on this. 3. Loose touch while gaming. I read that this is something to do if you playing game while charging. It is an electrostatic issue which will cause miss fire or miss navigate while playing PUBG. Don't charge the phone while gaming is the way to go, or buying a high quality charger and type C cable that has good grounding will solve the issue. As the default screen glass is not oleophobic, meaning it is not very smooth if you swipe on the screen, sticking a good quality screen protector also help to reduce this effect. 4. Screen bleed. My unit actually has very small screen bleed, but I get used to it as it is rarely seen at the bottom of the screen. It is an issue with low quality LCD, which I seen a lot on Xiaomi device especially on the Redmi series. I get used to it as well, it doesn't affect any of the functionality. 5. Notch hiding feature. It does come back on MIUI 10.3.4.0, but is not the way it hide the notch as from Android 8.0. It doesn't filled with black bars, but it directly shrink the whole screen. I get used to have notch anyway, doesn't bother much to me as well. All in all, it does depend on personal level where you whether like the way the MIUI behave or just hate it because it doesn't behave as what you expected. I just seen this as a cheap high end phone that lack on NFC, but it doesn't compromise on functionality. On latest MIUI 10.3.4.0, the much anticipated Widevine L1 support is finally here, where you can finally stream Netflix in HD on Pocophone F1. For those who do not receive OTA update want the update, the update package is at official MIUI website, need to download manually and update manually.

AnoM

They didn't stop the 10.3.4.0 MIUI updates, but for some region, there are issues via OTA updates. You can visit their official english version of MIUI website and download the update package from there, then learn how to manually update it. At system update page, you need to tap the MIUI 10 logo for 10 times, so that you have the "Choose Update Package" option selectable for doing the manual updates.

Stewdza

Update 10.3.4 is not pushed OTA probably because it has a lot of bugs. Again, MIUI cannot be bug free. Xiaomi can be No1 if they fix annoying software.

Padmashantha

Hi Guys, Does the xiaomi has paused the MIUI 10.3 update for sevaral regions??? I'm from Sri Lanka and still I haven't received it. Also still I have the security patch for 01.02.2019...

AnoM

You need to change your phone region to other country to make it works. Suggest India? China?

AnoM

Just need to manually download from it's official ROM side or force it to search for OTA update. If you don't know how to manual download, search at Google for help.

AnoM

It is clearly not a global phone. Even Samsung also didn't open all the bands, you only get the region specific version that support that region band. So, a Samsung phone that work properly in the US might not work at other country. At US, you better stick to the Oneplus brand that is intended for the US market. However, the Pocophone F1 that is intended for it's target market and region do work perfectly.

AnoM

Send for warranty. Mine has been used for the past 7 months, no issue on these, indeed it is pretty fast.

Would it be so hard for Xiaomi to add IR face unlock to Europe?

All that you can find in a Pocophone F1... but you pay 500u$s more for the camera... you could buy a pro camera with better zoom and a Pocophone f1

Hey.my poco always just lags and some times the screen goes black and then all apps dont work and freeze

With that price on that processor, they don't give NFC. Literally every smarthphone can have NFC, just like Bluetooth, but because of cost cutting, they don't install it, and you cannot get it at low price, unless you willing go to old model which has been price cut drastically.

AnoM

I wish every phone is unique with their own custom UI.

Anonymous

Agreed. MiUI is shit. Bloatware, dumb setting placement etc I wish every phone would just use Android One.

odin

With that processor and where is it the NFC ?

Ya boi

This phone is amazing..... IF you flash a custom rom on it. In my opinion MIUI is terrabad, it is clunky as heck and the settings are all in the wrong categories. I flashed LOS(LineageOs) on this one and the experience is top notch, many options to make it look like you and some very nifty features like privacy guard. Performance is phenomenal, right up there with the big boys, camera improved with the gcam port and that stock android feel and look is a must have. Battery life seems to have improved a bit by flashing LOS Yes it can be a pain in the ass to get started with unlocking the bootloader and installing everything manually, but it is so worth it in the end. Check out Linustechtips for a tutorial if you don't know what you are doing. Also, it is worth a mention that a youtuber named Munchy(an indian guy doing tutorials and reviews) has a good tutorial also. 4/5 because of MIUI.

TheRealEdser

Go for the Pocophone F1. I think the first batch of POCO F1 only has the screen bleeding issue. I got the Armored Edition.

TheRealEdser

I would personally recommend the Pocophone F1. Better chipset, has a card slot, stereo speakers, and a huge 4000 mAh battery.

TheRealEdser

There is an option to turn it off.

Skipper

I'm from Bangladesh and using this phone for about 5 months. I had a battery bump just after 3 months of buying. But still couldn't find the battery anywhere in the country. Undoubtedly it's an awesome phone regarding it's features. But it's difficult to find accessories and service here in Bangladesh. Don't know about other countries.

i am from the philippines as well and have the global version of pocophone f1, and i never had ads from the start. i am not sure about other xiaomi phones though. my wife has a redmi s2 (y2) and it does have ads and there is no option to turn it off, however the ads are not that too intrusive and only comes to parts of the settings that doesn't have lots of items on the menu.

Poco F1 or OnePlus 5T which is better value for money? Both have same prices in my country.

Don't buy this smartphone, it's a trap. I've been using this master of speed since it came out and now I can't think of another smartphone that is a better value than this one, it does everything I need , great gaming experience, great cameras with Gcam installed, up-to-date software, excellent battery life etc. I can afford any flagship smartphone but I can't find a reason to upgrade and just waste money, this smartphone is awesome and I don't have any touch issues or screen bleeding or any of the problems people mention about this awesome phone.

Not all the pocophone have a screen bleeding issue. Sometime the smartphone will have a problem but is depend whether u get defect unit or not. I wouldn't recommend to get a used iphone 7 since if some people used it for few years, battery won't be that good anymore. I would suggest to go for poco since its running with a snapdragon 845 processor. Already used for 6 month and so far i have no problem with it

ThanosOnTheHouse

Thanks FYI, but isn't it against the rules to give update to specific country only?

no1

Does the MIUI has too many ads? I live in the Philippines and I was thinking of getting a Xiaomi phone. Thanks.

David

Please someone help me. . Is network signal is strong. .. or it is weak

Think before update.

Glad to know that I am not alone. I've been through 5 phones in the past 8 years. And every phone always decreases battery life & loss of certain functions on each update till you're forced to carry a powerbank. I will maintain the factory firmware as it is. Everything is working fine. The touch issue thst you've mentioned, may I suggest to clean your screen thoroughly after switching it off first. See it it might help. The theory is that the gorilla glass 3 on Pocophone F1 is relatively thick compared to it's body. So when you hold it in both hands like during pubg, the 4 corners come into contact with your skin inputting a false signal which results in ghost touch.

nubs21

2 months ago? if you put some apps your score in antutu will becomes low common sense when using antutu benchmark, its computing also memory and ram.. kindly read and study before commenting this.

Think Before Update

FYI : Lots of people simply updating their phones thinking it is the norm. It is actually not. If it works the first time, don't update your phone. Each update is designed to send more data to google or to the phonemaker. Since every single update will send more data to them hence this will increase battery consumption. No update is worth it if it decreases your battery life. Some people said that nothing bad happened to their phone after update, but remember, at the end of the day, it's your phone that's gonna suffer.

Velkoz n Oems Death

My Pocophone scored 299k on antutu before ( 2 months ago ) and now i tested it again and it score 286k only , this is a sign that this will definitely slow down cause its cheap

What do u think ?? I said "Pocophone" right ? Which logically means it was the global version and obviously China made. I don't have touch issue and this piece of trash's system is always up to date. I am at 99.9% of ripping this shit ( or breaking it open to see the internals by a tear down )

Can pocophone camera compare to oppo f11 after using gcam and what about signal strength in weak network coverage areas .

Don't buy used iPhones they have known battery problems and replacing them is big investment with your time and money. Of you y options are only those two just buy f1 or if you don't mind not having headphones jack (iPhone 7) there is mi 8 a superior phone if you spend a little extra.

Can I ask you?

2 questions : 1. Where is your F1 made? India or China? This is due to your touch issue. Mine's a china made 128/6 july'18 model. No heat or touch issues while playing pubg at highest settings. 41'C average in tropical Malaysia. 2. Did you always update? What's your current firmware?

diegoboka

the iphone 7 plus is an excellent but the pocofone is far superior. no doubt buy the pocophone

Velkoz n Oems Death

My Pocophone F1 was purchased 4 months ago and now honestly I'm starting to notice these issues ( probably some of u won't mind but I do ) 1. I am used on playing games on this phone with max graphics and the temperature never gets too hot even for long gamong sessions ( I am playing world of tanks blitz ) then after a month of playing games like that the phone starts to heat up up to 44°C and boy that's so uncomfortable to the touch 2. I am able to play youtube ( or stream ) videos before using mobile data inside my house but now i cant even load Facebook pictures and the stupendous data connection always stay at H and then goes 4G after I close the app ( like fb ) and u know that it is so freaking frustrating 3. This poco keyboard , i have enough of it. This opinion I am posting right now took me a while to type because the keyboard just interchange the letters and I have to type very slow to get the correct one. I still love this thing but it is in the verge of being torn to pieces or being " intentionally " ripped apart.

Typing with auto correct on pe to ep i guess. go install other keyboard on playstore. ^^ Note: i dont feel lag in any games at all at version 10.3 stable update. except if i open their newest update in that version the game boost. some of my game become buggy like mislocate buttons in ppsspp.

Bcoz in Poco Slow motion, super slow motion,4k video recording at 60 fps, Dual pixel, etc. Liquid cooling system is working fine... I play Fortnite and Pubg on very high settings without any lag and heating issue. IR Face unlock is more and more secure and unlock your phone even in darkest room within 0.4 sec...

if you know how to change the roms of the phone, touch issue will be gone. according to some post i saw, a50's performance cannot beat pocophone's performance.

So, I bought this phone soon after its release, probably in second batch. However, I'm shocked to see this phone hitting #2 on this website as the most favorite phone despite many issues/bugs it comes along with. 1# You cannot play PUBG without noticing touch input lag. The digitizer is below par. 2# Oversensitive touch 3# Typing with full of errors try it your self by typing 'pe' the outcome will be 'ep' I hope they improvise it and recall my unit.

I didn't have high expectations regarding this decides yet it just doesn't cease to amaze me, everything is working flawlessly, performance is flying and the overall experience is great. There are however some software quirks that trigger me, like not being able to switch into another app when you get a call that you don't want to reply to, not being able to dismiss WhatsApp notifications while playing a game and a minor volume control bug in which the volume control pop up persists till you touch somewhere else. Other than that, the phone is perfect and I'm loving it.

Other best features you will get in Poco not in A50.... A50 has Only Amoled screen and beautiful built quality and nothing more

Gary

It has EIS, quite stable in video recording.

Gary

Same here, I have experienced none of these purported issues. I went from S8+ to Pocophone and it's a big improvement.

Kashif

I'm confused between Poco F1, Galaxy A50 and iPhone 7 (used). I'm getting a good used iPhone 7, condition is clean and the battery is fine too. Which one should I buy? My priority is gaming, camera and I want a good UI which doesn't lags. I need a phone which I can use for next 1-2 year(s). Thank you

Hi guys having issue with the newest update with Ragnarok mobile there is a notch on the side of the game, anyone having this issue? how to fix thanks!

ShadowJaiz

after i saw this comment, i suddenly check my box and i think im still safe Nov. 2018 ^^

ShadowJaiz

Got Mine. 1st time user of XIaomi here, honestly i did not expect it. the camera is not that good bad not that really bad and after the update from android 8 to android 9, the video record become better. gaming experience is insane. video playback is a little bit slower after i do fast forward than my Huawei honor 8 but still finding a way to make it fast. audio is normal for me. mic not tested yet. Plastic back. well i dont care about that i always use casing anyway. Outdated glass? atleast its Gorilla glass 3, well im always using tempered glass just to maintain its Main glass looks new like on my old phones.

Kenli

Try to manually download the update. Just search the legit link on the web.

JacksonD

Pocophone will be better as it packs with snapdragon 845 which is way better than A50's exynos 9610 and is still gonna be one of the high end processor for the next two years . It also have liquid cooling technology to improve overheating issue. Software issues can be fixed or improved by software updates from MIUI. On the other hand, A50 will have a better viewing experience due to super amoled display. other than that it is still a normal mid end phone

Anonymous

im from Indonesia and i got an India version,. ya poco f1., there's any different with global ver?

jackson

pocophone would be a better choice for gaming because it is packed with 845 processor and compared to the a50 exynos 9610. While A50 is better for viewing experience due to its super amoled screen. PocoPhone software issues could be fixed in the future with all the MIUI updates.

Mc Cruz

A50 is no match for pocophone

s-pen pusher

camera on the a50 does suck per reviews i have already read and watched. i have not seen one in action nor held one in my hand though, so i really cannot vouch for this one. on the other hand, i currently am using a pocophone f1 (althought as a spare as i have returned to using my razer phone 2 as my daily driver) and have not experienced any of the issues people have been reporting. apparently, these issues were only present in the earlier batches of manufacturing. per forums about the pocophone f1 i have read, the batches that are free from these issues were those manufactured between october 2018 to february 2019. my unit was manufactured february 2019. everything has been topnotch with the pocophone, except of course for the build. the only reason i got back to using my razer phone 2 is the front firing stereo speakers- there is just nothing out there that can match the speakers on both the razer phone 1 and 2.

Hello everyone. I need a very honest opinion. I'm torn between A50 and Pocophone. Really would like to buy Poco but with some reviews saying that it got lag, ghost issues, touch sensitivity problem, it gives me doubt shall i buy this Poco right away ? All the issues happened, can it be fix ? Im drawn to Poco due to its processor that will give me amazing speed in surfing internet.. im not a heavy gamer.. Drawn to A50 due to it's camera.. it got triple camera but still some said the camera sucks.. I really am confuse now..

Very strange. I recently received notification that the update to 10.3.4 was available for download. As I've delayed updating to 10.2.3 until I know that the latest update has solved the few issues on 10.2.3, I've suddenly found that my notification for updating has gone back down to 10.2.3. Does that mean that the latest update has been withdrawn?

Moe Gyi

No errors or battery drain on me. Everything's better and new features added after 10.3.4.

It's $300... That missing feature is perfectly fine.

it doesnt have ois and not all smartphone has ois. the f1 does have eis instead.

Mrk GB

I wondered why this smartphone doesn't have an OIS or any built-in stabilization for its camera. why didn't they included it? I strongly believed that smartphones should have built-in stabilization.

You referenced MKBHD; that's like citing Rudy Giuliani as a source of information on Technical Security. Only people with their heads in the sand respect either of these guys' opinions

Baraa Modallal

I've had this phone for over 6 months, best phone I've ever had. I don't have to worry about the stupid glass back, the plastic is very durable. The performance is outstanding, and I'm comparing it with the Note 9. The battery is just perfect, almost 12 hours of Screen On Time, with fast charging. Cameras are very good for the average user, a manual HDR option gave me accurate colors. MIUI is just a better version of stock android, adding all the necessary stuff. It's the most satisfying experience i've ever had with a phone. The only downside is that there are no notification icons on the statusbar anymore, but I can live with that!

Kamal Mehndiratta

Aftet latest stable update 10.3.4 still notifications icons do not stay in status bar after 2-3 seconds

The software updates are 2 edges sword. When no update, you can't enjoy the new features or any other bug fixs. When updated, it might bring new bugs or unstablility at some areas. It is your choice.

Thanks. I'm still on MIUI 9 Oreo. I don't want to deal with bugs at the moment but at the same time I want to update to MIUI 10 Pie too.

Only after you updated to MIUI 10.3.4.0 will know how stable or how worse it is. I found it usable anyway, the only non-perfect implementation is the new notch hiding feature, not my cup of tea. All other improvements are very welcome.

Logicalidiot

How stable is the MIUI 10.3.4.0 update? I've heard about the battery drain in the earlier version. Just want to make sure the update is stable before I move onto the new Pie ROM :)

Latest Pocophone F1 MIUI 10.3.4.0 updates bring Widewine L1 support for Netflix HD streaming, Face Unlock now works on all region, and 4K 60fps video recording.

Will there really be no 1080p 60FPS recording? Because they just added 60FPS to the 2160p one and the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite which is a lot cheaper can even go up to 120FPS in 1080p.

Two Shells From Hell

i got mine ... after reading off the latest OTA update did make the handset overheat and battery drain became awful ... i did update ... restarted the phone (complete shutdown and start) manually and ... eh? no issues? oh well, as usual the issue is in the head of the negative reviewer (professional or not) as for the phone ... well it's the best for the money asked (i took the graphite 6gb/128gb) and no concurrent reach it (even from Xiaomi, which is literally funny ) Q:SDM845, but there is the SDM855 already! A: not really caring, the SDM845 is more than plenty for anything you do with that phone Q: polycarbonate and plastic feel cheap and not premium A: well ... most of the glass Phone from certain known brand feel cheaper (Sa***** not looking at you ... but almost ... ) and cost 3 time the price ... (and will break fast enough even in a case) and the polycarbonate back doesn't feel cheap at all ... a contrario: comfy. Q: 1. camera has less mPix, 2. the screen is IPS, 3. it's not 1440/2160p, 4. the notch and chin are ugly 5. doesn't have all LTE band coverage and 6. IR Unlock doesn't work in my country! A: 1. it still take beautiful pictures, eh? 2. no burn in? im' in! 3. 1080p is enough up to 8" above is gimmick 4. you get used to it, i used to be a notch hater ... not anymore and the chin is practical in the end, 5. still cover all the bands in my country (Switzerland), 6. in my country it doesn't work either ... just change your location setting to a country that work (i.e.: for me unluckily it's France)

I didn't know Poco supports HDR videos from YouTube. And it looks so f stunning. That's unbelievable for a smartphone costing below 300 dollars :)

yeah can you name some in this price range?? surely you cant. and what do you want to play. its a phone not playstation. i played almost everything on it. if you see a lag with snapfragon 845 and liquid cooling thrn i think its not the problem of poco f1. you should complaint qualcomm

User from sep 2018

After 6 month of usage i can say this phone is best in performance and battery life in this price the camera is good with google camera app its great give great night shots the only thing that i dont like is design and screen the screen its not bad at all but i dont like highly recommend and dont listen to indian they always complain about touch screen i dont have any issue sins day one just got global version

Anonymous

Still. One of the best phone of Xiaomi where you can run Ragnarok M Eternal Love in split screen without any lags. Considering the price, The only cons is screen display, sounds, and unable to stream 1080p on Netflix (which will be repaired via system update as per Xiaomi). With only those cons, I would suggest it is a worthy phone.

Im both xiaomi and samsung user, currently own note 9,s8+, s7 edge, a2, redmi5, note 3pro, mi4s, redmi note 6 pro. I dont understand why did people keep comparing that 2 brand together, no offense, but its only in our dream that samsung would be better on xiaomi on the same price range, again its only on our dream!! Even my s8+ wont be much better than my a2 which have alot of diff in price even at today it was like 500usd vs 180usd and yet the almost similiar in performance even the camera just slightly better why dont a50 user post their benchmark's score and see how much diff between them for performance of their combination of disk+proc+vga.? The only thing that xiaomi wont ever win from samsung would be their screen but for this case both are 403 ppi so they are close ro each other. And for the camera itself u guys are using an auto for their settings its really depend on which setting the app will use for ur picture when its taken, even my a2 can win from my s8+ when the apps of my s8 choose the wrong setting and im using an manual on my a2, so please dont use thr auto settings for camera as the refferences, use the manual, with same setting and same lighting condition to compare them. But the only thing i can vouch for ssmsung after using quite alot of both of samsung's and xiaomi's device, is their durable including tge proc, ram, disk, housing which xiaomi wont ever last longer than samsung (doesnt inlcude the factory faulting) For example my s7 edge still able to run quite well until now with slightly drop in performance while the housing it self are not considered as good since year ago But for most of my xiaomi including the mi4s which was their flagship at that time its already drop like hell after a year on performance. Fyi im an expert user, so dont tell me that i might ruin my own phone due to virus, overloaded etc etc. And yes both phone are working in the hell, gaming, vr, running on 50-70celcius for couple of hours you name it. Even my mi4s rubbrt for its volume button melt down after a months lol, well the rubber for my s7 edge also have the same fate after 2years but still the durable for samsung is quite diff for this both brands, well what u pay is what u get, there is no magic in here to get everything better on the lower price

Yes, I have used the A9, which is the top model in the A series and much more expensive than A50. It has terrible cameras.

I don't know why you guys keep on insulting the specs of this phone mainly its camera quality. Well it has an awesome specs for its price, well duh cuz it is a budget phone. You can't expect more without a fallback.

s-pen pusher

hmm... not sure about that. mine actually got more efficient. well, i had nothing to compare to because soon as i was setting it up still it was updated to pie. per my usage- casual gaming/moderate social media/high usage for media streaming/mobile data always on/bluetooth always on/using mostly lte- i get up to 10 hours of screen-on-time. that translates to 2 days for me as i limit my usage to around 5 hours a day. on standby the phone barely uses battery even if it polls every after so many minutes information from my fitness band. one thing i do by the way after every update is to clear cache then reboot the phone one more time.

Game & Watch

Wow thank you man for sharing your experience with pocophone. I'm still on the factory firmware. Guess I will not be updating my phone because this is my gaming phone & I really need every bit of juice from the battery to last me throughout the day.

The fix is try to factory reset the phone yeah it sucks that after the pie update the battery drain so fast regretting that i updated it.

Hiiiiiiiii

Manufacturing month of ur phone?

This is missleading, pocophone has good to great camera, dependant on how tech sawy it's user is ( it needs some tampering ). After instalation of gcam it can hang in there with the majority of flagships ( proven by MKBHD and his twitter cellphone camera battle thingie in which users graded cameras of cellphones and poco finnished 2nd, just behind honor mate 20 pro ). The things that pocophone lacks are water ressistance and amoled display, and you won't be able to notice how good or bad it's screen actually is unless you put it next to devices that have amoled displays.

Game & Watch

Just bought this pocophone F1 as a gaming a phone and it is definitely worth it. 4 hours straight of pubg on the highest setting and I still have 40% left. No other phone can do that!! The phone temperature throughout the 4 hours of pubg is never more than 41'C. This pocophone F1 is a certified beast!

Anonymous

I tried A50 camera at a store, i`m sorry to say that it took really worst photos & selfies. I think the things are good on A50 are Amoled and UI. But for performance poco beats every mid ranger & only comparable with flagships. And with Gcam poco is way better in camera department also. Personal Experience..

Samsung Galaxy A50 is much better as it has a nice design, better camera and ram management, in display fingerprint, android pie with one ui and much more. It is a bit slower than poco f1. But both phones give smooth performance while gaming.

I read somewhere that Poco f1 was made into 3 batches.1st batch(march_july) having freeze,lag,bleed issue. 2nd batch(august_sep manufacturing date) having youch lag issue. 3rd manufacturing batch (oct _feb 2019) No issues. Is it true?

What's the name of the seller in Shoppee? Anyways I tried leaving a comment for you on the longer term review of the pocophone F1 man hoping you can answer those questions.

Atom

Rheasourus, I am thinking about the same. The A50 is probably better if you are a normal phone user. I will probably buy the Poco but i will have to root it and install custom ROM because the stock ROM sucks! So if you are skilled in phones you can try Poco but the A50 is better out of the box in my opinion.

dickson

After pie update battery is draining so fast. Anyone facing the same issue??

Which is better overall and has more advantage/features? Samsung Galaxy A50 or the Pocophone F1?

stick with mi8 with similar spec and 4000ma battery also drain very quickly playing PUBG

Thanks for your reply. I think the problem with my Bluetooth connection is when the F1 and Galaxy watch are separated and lose their connection, they do not then automatically reconnect when within range again, and it has to be done manually.

i don't have a galaxy watch and as such i am not able to say if it is the phone or your watch that's having problem staying connected. then again i also use my f1's bluetooth connection with several other bluetooth devices like my mi band, 2 headsets,3 home hi-fi systems, and my car's audio system but i never had any disconnections so far. i am running the latest os version.

I have recently bought the Poco F1 but I'm having problems with it regularly losing Bluetooth contact with my Galaxy watch. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm currently holding off the firmware update to Android Pie due to poor feedback. Would that sort my problem?

2 months using the phone and have developed this little issue. it is not that much to bother me but i just thought i may ask anyway as it seems to be no one has posted this here before. there were 2 instances wherein a faint image of the previous app stayed on the screen for like half an hour. it is similar to a burn in or ghosting, but very faint to almost unnoticeable. i always use dark wallpapers. it only happened twice- like a week apart. i thought it was impossible that the wallpaper is responsible but i changed wallpapers anyway. the ghosting stayed even after numerous wallpaper changes and it lasted for around 30 minutes. again, it is very faint that it is almost unnoticeable even as i use other apps. i have tried clearing cache and ram, but it wouldn't help. i am just curious if anybody here have had this issue?

AnoM

Smartphone are never designed for long period of gaming. For high demand games such as PUBG, battery will drain very fast. I think a Qualcomm QC3.0 supported power pack or power bank is your ultimate solution for long period gaming. Optionally, you can buy Qualcomm QC3.0 car charger, where if you are passenger, you can charge your phone, else when you are driving, you can charge your phone as well to replenish the battery.

PunkHazard27

Oh! Thank info guys! ^_^

AnoM

For all that concern on PUBG playability, due to ghost touch, lose touch or hang on Pocophone F1, it is part of PUBG issue. Do remember when playing high demand game such as PUBG, it demand more CPU and GPU resources. If you install many bloated apps such as FB, and any other small apps that also use the same CPU resource, then you will feel this kind of hang. I won't say smartphone gaming are long way to go, but it is just like those gaming PC, there are mileage different between different processor, different graphic card, different motherboard, different keyboard, different mouse, and also different OS, such as in between Windows 7 and Windows 10. These games, unlike those PS4 and XBOX game that has to make sure to tune the playability to match the console performance, simply PC has no such tuning. They just mention the minimum requirements, then the rest is up to player to upgrade their system for maximum performance, that involve how much cost you can invest, and certainly these hardware get outdated very fast. So, stop saying when other lower end SoC will play better games. For latest games experience, always the latest most powerful SoC is the best choice.

Its very ridiculous phone i have ever seen by mi. Its keep lagging again and again most of the times keyboard get stuck and even most of the times when I play pubg it freeze on wrong time even i was using mi a2 before this phone that phone was really awesome and it didnt worth any money. Wasted my 20k on this phone pathetic service even i went to mi service centre they tried to fix it and they said we will change manual harware and i said okay and when i went again they said we changed it and whn i took the phone it woking fine and after 2 hrs it again doing the same thng even now when i m typing it keep freezing.

After MIUI 10.0 update in POCO F1, the Miracast screen mirroring feature didn't work.

In my nearest xiaomi store the price was RM 1300++, so with the money exchange rates it'll be five to four to five hundred plus Singapore dollars I guess.

zrad

There is some wrong information there, here it is: THE CAMERA CANNOT CAPTURE 960FPS -- it is converted to 940fps via software using the 240fps mode, motion interpolation is used. And this mode is only available after you update to android 9. You also lose the ability to hide the notch, unfortunately.. I had no screen bleeding issue, according to xiaomi, only 0.5% of all users had this issue. I actually had an issue regarding to the SIM activation, since xiaomi collects quite a lot of data, i tried to turn it off as much as i could, no rooting used, just built-in options. The issue was that i could not put a sim card in the phone, it would keep restarting. When i first used the phone, didnt put the sim card immediatly, i started using and configuring it without the SIM. I solved the issue by doing a hard reset on the device though, if you dont want this issue, then place your sim card in the phone before changing system configs.

As a POCO F1 user I during a month i was using this phone i had no problem at all about 2 or 3 times it froze in instagram app.. but everything else was working so i just closed the app and lunched it again and everything was fine. just one thing, when i use mobile data or a day or a long time, when i switch to wifi , it does not recognize wifi networks and i have to restart it.. other than this ... You will Love it

Never happened to me.

AnoM

There is no perfect phone at this price point, even the Pocophone F1 is being said of having lower grade of LCD screen, and no AMOLED. But for everything else, Pocophone F1 beats Honor Play and Samsung A50, because it got performance and stability, big RAM, it's LCD can be used from day to day usage, despite not AMOLED, LCD is more durable than AMOLED. Honor Play actually comes as second best choice, maybe also can consider Honor View 10, and also Honor 10, mainly because Kirin 970 still perform far better than Exynos 9610. Of course if can spend a little bit more, ASUS Zenfone 5z and Xiaomi Mi8 are also good choices. At top of budget phone, maybe a little more expensive can also consider Oneplus 6T, LG G7, Honor View 20.

i've already done the updates. but there are still times that there are touch glitches.

I've not encountered and if the issues you mentioned. Been using it for e few months. I think the issues are prevalent in early models.

I am planning to get this, are the issues still there such as touch lag and screen bleeding? If the issues are still there, I would just go for Nokia 6.1 Plus..

Please help me to choose a phone my requirements are little bit abnormal, I have more then 1000 of whatsapp groups which is related to my business and i keep on adding many daily. i need a phone which does not hangs and have great ram management battery life, performance, display currently my mind is set to SamsungA50, Poco F1, Honor Play please let me know which will be best and if you have a better option let me know. I really need a stable good performance and good battery device with nice display.

Mark

Try updating your device. It was also happening when I first got mine. But it got resolved once I updated it.

Mark

I just got my Poco F1 a few days ago and let me tell you something, this phone is a beast! The screen bleeding issue was already resolved and that I believe the the issue with the first batches of the phone. Touch sensitivity issue was already resolved by the software update. :) Battery life is remarkable, I tell you that! Hope this helps!

matth99

Not really. I have been using the Pocophone since it launched in Oct 2018 and im pretty happy with it considering the mere RM1200+ i paid for it. Its the best smartphone in the market you can buy at this price currently. The only downside to it is that Xiaomi phone's screen tend to crack easily so i would recommend you to get a good screen protector to prevent that. Hope this helps :)

Poco loco

Pro tip, if you're facing ghost touch or screen freezing issues, got to settings and turn off full screen navigation and also turn off three fingers swipe for screenshot. It's a software bug that will hopefully be fixed with the upcoming update.

I have been using the pocophone f1 for 2 weeks now and since the update on MIUI 10.2.2.0 stable the phone is not working well when I go to the service center i found out other users of pocophone having the same issue screen touch delay and worst of all screen freezing and we bought the same model the 64GB variant of pocophone f1. I also asked my friend who has the pocophone f1 128GB variant if he has the same issues he said he didnt have the same issue I also ask the guy who has the same variant if he has a friend who have the pocophone f1 128GB he said that he has a friend who have the pocophone 128GB and he said that he has no screen freeze issue.

Moe Gyi

Now this phone gets Widevine L1 support in latest MIUI beta.

MichaelD

Good: Great feeling in hands. It's plastic but very quality one and it's not slippery like most metal phones. Not overheating and mostly fast. Bad: Big notch but I already knew that before I brought it. Little bit of display bleeding. Touch sometimes not working. Because of those last two things I mentioned I returned it and got Mi8 for $60 more. I don't regret because Mi8 is so much better than Poco and it works perfectly all the time.

The authorised company store confirmed to me that yes both of the Sims support VOLTE.

It better be for $200 more. This however doesn't change the fact that the F1 is an ugly, plastic phone with a big notch. The OP is on a budget and the current market offers very few handsets with the A2 performance for it's price range, The F1 is also very limited in terms of "global market usages, since it lacks some very important bands, like B4 / AWS. Sometimes gaming performance is not the leading factor in ppl choice of handsets.

AliT77

Use custom rom. Learn it from u tube.

s-pen pusher

almost a month using it now and so far, so good. well, a little not so good. although this was already mentioned in the review, i only got to test it a few days ago- the unbalanced "stereo" speakers. because one of the stereo channels is routed to the earpiece speaker, it does sound alot weaker than the bottom firing one. after renting "bohemian rhapsody" online, i decided to fire up the song. comes the "galileo" part, the voice is shuffled between the left and right channel and the part that goes to the earpiece speaker is barely audible, making for an unbalanced stereo.

One thing I forgot to you, it also has night sight through Google camera which is super awesome. You get the best value for money flagship if you for poco f1.

Hi All - The Great techie's - Need a small help. I wish to buy POCO F1, but do have few queries related to it:- 1. Are both of the SIM slots compatible of Volte. 2. To which all Android versions the OS will be upgraded or till how many years the Xiaomi commit to upgrade the Android version, likewise in Android One, Google commit to give OS upgrade for at least 2 Years. 3. Which Corning Gorilla Glass version it has on the screen. 4. How much internal space the POCO OS occupies and how much space the Android One OS occupies.

The notification bar can be drag down on home screen by performing any swipe down gesture on middle of the screen, the most common way of course is swipe down from top of the screen. Mine with latest MIUI 10.2.2.0 doesn't face this issue, in fact is pretty fast, as I always check if the phone is charging with QC3.0 charging speed.

Well said & thank you

s-pen pusher

i haven't experienced this. but then i am new and no more than a month with this phone.

s-pen pusher

are you sure? do you know exactly what screen on time is? 22-24 hours of screen on time is only possible with batteries over 10,000 mAh. i think you are talking about the phone's endurance between charges? if this is the case i can easily get up to a week without charging if i use my pocophone only lightly. screen on time is the number of hours you are actually using and interacting with the screen of the phone, hence- "screen ON time", meaning the screen is on. anyways, to update, i previously said i can get up to 8 hours of screen on time and still have 25% juice left; the other day i tested it 'til the battery is totally drained and i got 10.44 hours of screen on time. so, roughly 10% per hour? my usage is anything from social media, video streaming, local videos, light to moderate gaming (about 1-2 hours with 25% at least on a high graphics games), and about 2 hours of using my djing apps with an external controller. all throughout i have my display birghtness on auto. as they say, your mileage may vary. i have used alot of smartphones from sony to samsung (this is the first one i have used of a chinese brand) since 2008 (windows powered xperia x1), and every single one of them i'm stressed out by the battery drain once i unplug from the charger. with the pocophone though, i never have to be mindful of the battery percentage that i have set the notification to display only the graphic representation for the battery.

After any major upgrade, like going from Oreo to Pie, is recommended a factory reset.

Kenli

right mate.

AnoM

1st of all, this Poco F1 is employing a poor LCD screen, with poor contrast, very less saturated color, and poor viewing angle. The screen bleed is part of the poor LCD viewing angle issue. If you comes from AMOLED or any better LCD screen, simply you will hate this screen. The screen bleed is visible at night where at low light environment, it is very visible. You should hand-on one unit to see it for yourself before buying.

Anonymous

Is screen bleed issue a big deal here? I like poco but I'm bothered by it's screen bleed issue. Can you give me an advice about it?

AnoM

I never said this device is good or bad, I said it is all down to personal expectations and preferences. For sure those from Indian and PH just bash this device without considering the price point, seems like with this low price, it should beat the budget king like Oneplus 6/6T, or simply must beat Samsung Note 9, Huawei Mate 20 Pro, simply this Pocophone F1 is not, and many proper reviewer did mention that. Good or bad? I think at this price point, it is the most value for money. The only thing I saw missing is NFC, some might say it lack Widewine L1 support for Netflix HD, then some complain the touchscreen issue, screen bleed issue, GPS issue. Out of all these, I only bothered by it's touchscreen, mine are over sensitive, no loose touch, but I get used to it. Screen bleed become non-issue for me as it only happen on small lower part of the screen, which actually goes unnoticeable almost 5 months of usage. Then I don't watch Netflix, I only watch Youtube. I also doesn't use NFC, not because I don't want to use it, but really at my region, NFC payment almost cease to 0 usage. I also does not face the GPS issue. I don't use my smartphone under water either. I also don't against it's MIUI either, I am the one who can adapt to any UI usage pattern, as long as I can Whatapps, Wechat, Facebook, gaming, and web browsing, I just doesn't care it's UI, just need some time to get used to it. You see, certainly this phone has it's own flaws and not everyone can accept these flaws. Those who bash are mostly because they wish this phone will works just like the expensive phone that they bought before, but got disappointed when it isn't, because when people already get used to better expensive product, they can't look back at those product that is lower grade. Not try to convince you to buy this phone, but you should made up your mind before considering.

Jolibee

I dont think this device is good because i read a lot of bad experience about this phone on PH groups and indian group .

Stupidbomb

That is pretty much the reason why most all manufacturers use Sony sensors. For example, the phone with the best camera ( Pixel 3) uses the Sony IMX355

AnoM

Please ignore those basher post. Yes, Sony's camera sensors are among the more favorable OEM sensors brand, not just smartphone camera sensors, but industrial camera sensors as well. However, in smartphone, camera lens and camera post-processing are equally important for better image quality, this is where on some smartphone it can achieve better results, Google GCam proof that by their algorithm calculations, an image captured by smartphone camera can be improved vastly. So, these smartphone brand takes the post-processing and lenses with different approaches, which result in different outcomes. Of course for average consumers, we doesn't matter all these technical stuff, we only care by the end, which smartphone camera give better image quality.

AnoM

Really depend what game you are playing for. If you play high graphic demand game such as PUBG, 4 hours straight considered normal in these day, unless the battery life start to degrade from time to time usage. Also depend if you install many apps or just installing a single game, every installed apps might run in the background. The other thing will depend on optimization where some game will drain more battery while playing, given it is using LCD also will drain more battery than AMOLED on certain occasion. You will realize despite latest processor already made with 7nm process, but it doesn't mean goes more power efficient compared to 10nm processor, because simply 7nm would also means manufacturer can cram in more transistor gate for making a processor more powerful, that in turn also will use similar power consumption on full scale high demand process.

AnoM

Please check that you understand what is SOT and overall battery life before charging. He mentioned 6 hours SOT doesn't means after 6 hours the phone need to charge, it does means overall maybe in 24 hours or more than 1 day time before charging uses a combined 6 hours of "Screen On Time". Only the endurance king such as Lenovo P2 with Full HD AMOLED screen, 5100mah battery combined with SD625 14nm processor can nearly achieve 24 hour SOT. But this is also only theoretical as smartphone do run many background process on apps, consume battery on cellular network more than WiFi, so it will reduce close to half in real life usage.

Gary

Sony is the best in mobile camera sensors. For example, Huawei P20 Pro and Mate 20 Pro use Sony IMX 600 sensor.

pooh

is it true that u can game on this phone for 4 hours straight? ive bought honor play a month ago and it drains battery a lot if playing games for 4 hours straight.. hmm.. only the battery issue makes me unhappy with it.. should i switch to poco then?

luhluh

I have the regular mate 20 and I can get 22-24 hours of screen time. Maybe because mine is just an lcd not the amoled one. I'm also using 2 sims. Before with 1 sim I rarely charge my phone every other day. So maybe there's something wrong with your brother's mate 20 pro cause mine has good battery. I can screenshot the proof.

AnoM

Seems like you really try hard to bash this phone. No phone is perfect, it is just personal preference. It is normal for average users to support and become fans on the smartphone that they are currently using, so to make them feel proud on using it, or also can become the total opposite that hate this phone so much. All in all, it is down to every individual expectation on what a cheap high specs smartphone can be. Different people of course has different expectation, and certainly majority want everything at this low price, which is impossible, that is typical human greediness.

on gsma's review of the honor play- "Xiaomi did the same thing with the Pocophone experiment and, well, it did it better. The Pocophone, where available, is cheaper, yet more powerful, has better all-around camera experience, and more features such as stereo speakers and FM radio." i have the two compared as well side by side and honor play couldn't touch the f1 with a ten foot pole.

Gino76ph

On actual real-life usage and performance which selfie and rear camera phones of the Pocophone F1 and the OnePlus 6: 1. A selfie camera with image stabilization, fast autofocus, wide angle lens, great in low-light and the overall sharpness/natural colour/dynamic range. 2. A front camera with image and video stabilization, great in low light, wide angle lens, fast autofocus, natural colours, great dynamic range, high audio bitrate in video. 3. Google Lens built-in camera app? 4. More optimized portrait shots (w/ background blur or defocus)?

I said I used both phones in real life, even compared their cameras side-by-side, and Pocophone has much better cameras. This shouldn't come as a surprise to someone who knows the hardware. Pocophone has flagship level sensor: Sony IMX363 with f/1.9 aperture. Honor Play has a no-name sensor: OV16B10 with f/2.2 aperture.

yes, my Samsung phone lags after few months of usage. My Oppo, which is older than Samsung, works as fast as the way it was working initially.

Great phone. Fast, snappy great camera (especially with the gcam .apk) only one complaint. The fm radio app is awful (bad reception and crashes sometimes).

Chap 1

Avoid Huawei phone their software-hardware optimisations are bad- that means afwul performance,so laggy(simmilar to Samsungs performance) and it will also slow down and become more laggy in time- very bad in long terms of usage.When u buy a machine(car,phone,whatever) the most important thing is that machine works(performes) properly.In every way Xiaomi is better,camera of Poco is much better now then it was in time the phone was realised because its improved by software upgrades,battery is better on Xiaomi,everything is better on Xiaomi.

Actually 970 still can do 86% of Snapdragon 845 do Pls i don't care about mobile getting huge 3DMARK number because real life is everything Nokia 8.1 is weak in 3DMARK but in real life he did better than pocophone and one plus6

There's other mobiles had Snapdragon 845 with price similer to pocophone Today sonySD845 cheaper than pocophone i most of asian countries pocophone F1 is 400$, honor play and Z2SD845 are 266$

just search on xda- they have a hub there for gcam ports for mi8, and it works also for the f1. manual mode and night sight (although i don't get the idea of taking a picture in a dark environment but make it look like it is in a bright environment) are simply amazing manyfolds compared to the inbuilt camera app.

easily get 8 hours of screen on time with 25% battery left, while my cousin's flagship mate with 4200mah only get 6 hours screen on time with totally drained battery. yes, the plastic build feels cheap indeed, but you can simply put on a case. what is important is real-life performance, in which the f1 razes the competition including the mate flagships.

Moe Gyi

'Cheap's not a word I want to say, sorry. I mean, the phone is high end and great value for money,

s-pen pusher

talking about battery life- real-life performance of the f1's 4000mah gives me up to 8 hours of screen on time with still 25% battery left. whereas my cousin's huawei mate 20 pro that has 4200mah battery only can manage 6 hours of screen on time and totally drained. huawei can't simply beat the pocophone f1 on performance and endurance in any of their current flagships if based on actual usage. huawei have been caught before cheating in benchmarks.

Booty Crash Evilcoot

Someone is very upset with his selection it seems.. hahahaha.. The one and only reason where poco is down is its build quality and yes, considering the price point we cant demand more. Poco is the best in every other aspect.. There is clearly no competition with Honor whatsoever... Camera, Liquid Cooling, IR detection that unlocks in pitch darkness... Poco is a feel dude... You wont understand... Your intention is clear when you say s5, 2013 etc... No one cares 😂😂😂

Moe Gyi

I don't want to tell my previous phone experience. Anyway, Pocophone may not be a completely perfect phone. But, its price and specs makes a lot of its quirks and niggles easier to live with than they would have been if it had been priced like most flagships nowadays. Besides, I don't care the design. All I need is a budget phone with high specs. That's why I chose it. Now, it's really great for me.

the only good in honor play is built quality thats it.a phone that will make u piss after a month because after you enjoy its built quality you will start thinking about the specs and then u will start thinking that u should go for poco in the first place and then start blaming poco because poco make u realize that you made a big mistake for choosing HP...just like what your doing right now trolling because you made a BIG mistake...super LOL HAHAHA...

2 weeks using the phone and still rocking solid. don't mind the criticisms about the plastic build as it is easily resolved by a case. i was able to compare it with a friend's iphone xs and huawei p20 pro, and i can say the measly prices pocophone is at par with the 2's performance- it's blazingly fast! even the camera is blowing the competition out of the water; i have installed a gcam port for pocophone f1 and it makes the camera even better; night shift is incredible. the battery last me the whole day with enough juice for up to 8 hours of screen-on-time. yes, it doesn't have ip rating nor wireless charging, but you can't beat its value for your money. i haven't had any of the issues being reported by users here such as screen bleeding nor ghost touches. perhaps my only complaint is the pretty quiet volume on headsets.

Choose Pocophone F1 blindly it's an insane value for money and it's gonna be just as fast after 2 years because of the flagship chipset. Huawei Nova 3 is bad when it comes to gaming because they use Kirin 970 chipset which overheats easily and the speaker is cheap quity and has bad audio through speakers and headphones. The Pocophone has a bigger battery, cooling system and is way better than Nova 3

Pocophone F1 is better than Honor play in every way no matter what you say. It rhymes huh? Better battery, camera, SD 845 is on another level and can't be compared with Kirin 970 which simply a throttling machine , liquid cooling etc the only argument Honor fans has is the build quality and I don't mind plastic if I'm gonna get epic performance. Buy what you want but don't try to misguide people.

lol yeah???? stop talking trash... better camera quality? my brother has the PLAY and mind you the quality on its camera sucks he even borrow my phone for taking pictures on his tarpaulin business since the camera on his PLAY cannot salvage enough details and not to mention GCAM... PLAYING GAMES??? PUBG at high frame rate the PLAY can do it but not for long period of time since the game starts to stutter whenever the heating will be present on PLAY and for POCO you can drain the battery smoothly without heating the phone though.... and this is a FACT

nono777

If you feel like trying out Android phones, the Pocophone might be a cheaper way to start. its got all the punch you need; its super fast, has a nice battery with 4K video recording and a large display. the best part of it is that its very cheap. about 300 dollars. its worth checking out.

TAS

I'm extensive PUBG Player. I know this phone can handle PUBG but how good is the touch screen quality? My current phone (Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1) has got a lower grade touch panel which ruins the gameplay for me. While throwing grenade or scoping in, the touch flickers and the aim moves to somewhere else. This is very frustrating. How is the touchscreen quality of this phone? Is it flagship grade like super sensitive and responsive?

I am using iphone 5s. Is it worth it to buy pocophone? In what aspect i will lose as i am from iphone user? Thank you

s-pen pusher

i would agree with lower contrast but not the lower saturation. i mean, it may be for some, but then what is important is realistic color rendering; the over-saturation of AMOLED panels does make the objects on the screen appear punchy, but the ultimate goal for media consumption is being closer to real colors and not clownishly over-saturated colors. coming from the razer phone, i would say indeed that the LCD on the Pocophone F1 is of lower quality, but then that was a 120Hz panel. so, i have compared its screen with others in its price-range and has LCD also, and i can say that the Pocophone F1 is still better than most in its price range.

Lol really ? SD 845 is just for emulators? Let me give a stress test for your Honor play, try playing Fortnite at epic settings you can't? Alright Kirin 970 doesn't support that and try playing it at high settings and watch how hot it gets. You don't get full visual effects on Asphalt 9 or playing shadowgun legends at ultra high 60 FPS settings because it will overheat and lag like crazy so please don't compare SD 845 to Kirin 970 and the few problems with screen bleeding affected only 3 percent of users so Poco is loco at this price nothing can beat it.

Evil crash bandicoot

Honor Play is better screen camera queilty and body pocophone like a mobile without warrnty and its had more problem in hardware more than softwar Snapdragon 845 is just for emulators

As a mobile gaming junky I love the Pocophone so much, the performance is outstanding but and this is a huge but, the screen quality is not good enough, coming from Nokia 7 plus I enjoyed the screen on the Nokia way more in terms of quality and colours, the speaker is not bad but also not what I expected from a claimed stereo speaker even the single speaker on Nokia 7 plus sounds richer and fuller, I don't mind the build quality because I care most about the performance but I'll get used to these downsides because man SD 845 is a beast and I miss stock Android but miui is not that bad so overall I love this phone but for a multimedia junky too I expected better audio quality and a better or an equally good IPS display as my previous Nokia 7 plus but I guess you can't have a perfect phone.
